1. Introduction to the B-6010/B-6020

The ZyXEL B-6010 (refer as AP)/B-6020 (refer as AC) is a Wireless Bridge/Router for Inter-building Point to Point

Ethernet connection. By supporting IPSec VPN (Virtual Private Network) with 3DES engine, B-6010/B-6020 is

particularly suited for most sensitive data transmission. System privacy is also inherent through the MAC & 802.1x

based mutual authentication functionality. Outdoor-mounted design with weatherproof enclosure minimize the cable

loss connecting to antenna and thus has outstanding performance in the longer communication distance. The power

over Ethernet (POE) technology supplies the power and Ethernet connectivity concurrently via a single Ethernet

cable and makes quick outdoor installation. Except for point to point connection, the wireless router feature can also

be configured as point to two points architecture for multi-site connections as well as wireless relay function and

hence assists to overcome the non-line of sight (NLOS) problem in the real environment.

connections.

3.2. AC Configuration

The AP supports AC’s MAC access control. Prior to complete communication between AP and AC, you have to set

AC’s MAC address for B-6010/B-6020 AP.

1. In AP’s SMT Main Menu, select 6. Network Setup.

2. In AP’s Menu 6 Router Mode Network Setup, set AC1 Operation mode=Enabled, MAC

Address=00:02:CF:13:46:79 (the AC’s MAC Address).

4.2. The outdoor unit installation

The installation procedure of B-6010/B-6020 is described below:

1. Choose an appropriate place for the installation. The chosen site should have a clear light-of-sight path.

2. Prepare a mast with 40mm~50mm diameter.

3. Assemble mast mount bracket as shown in Figure 4-3.

Figure 4-3 Mounting Bracket Assembly

4. Attach mounting bracket and the grounding wire to the back of the outdoor unit as shown in Figure 4-4.

Figure 4-4 Attach Mounting Bracket to Outdoor Unit

5. Fasten the mounting bracket assembly to Install outdoor unit on the mast. The height of top of the mast can’t

exceed the top of outdoor unit to reduce interference to the antenna.

Figure 4-5 Install Outdoor Unit to the Mast

6. Install the antenna to the N-male connector port labeled on the top of outdoor unit. For the omni-directional

antenna, you can attach the antenna to the N-male connector directly or use the attached HDF 400 RF coaxial

cable to connect the antenna and antenna connector on the top panel of outdoor unit. For the directional antenna

installation, use the HDF 400 RF coaxial cable. The polarization of directional antenna for both AP and AC

B-6010/B-6020 Secure Outdoor Ethernet Radio Link

should be the same, otherwise, the installation will fail to communicate. At the same time, you have to position

the directional antenna to each other for both sides mutually.

Notice: The antenna must be installed by the professional installer to comply with the safety, electrical and

radiation standards. The installer should properly configure the output power of transceiver in

according to related country regulation requirement and per antenna type.

Figure 4-6 Install Antenna to the Outdoor Unit

7. Attach the end of 8-pin male connector of category 5 cable to the 8-pin female connector port labeled on

the bottom of outdoor unit.

Figure 4-7 Connect Cat-5 cable to the outdoor unit

Well done! The outdoor unit installation is completed.

4.3. Indoor Unit Installation

The indoor unit installation is to be proceeded after the outdoor installation.

1. Choose an appropriate place for the network/power injector. You might hang it on the wall or just place it on the

desk.

2. Connect the other end of category 5 cable to the RJ-45 connector labeled TO RADIO of network/power

injector.

3. Connect one end of Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port labeled TO LAN on the network/power injector. Connect

the other end of Ethernet cable to the workstation directly or through a switch/hub/router (iAIR M9000 only).

4. Connect the power jack of switching power adaptor to the power port labeled POWER on the network/power

injector.

4.4. Initializing the B-6010/B-6020

1. When plugging the switching power adapter into the 110V/220V wall outlet, the LED named PWR on the

network/power injector will light on.

2. When the power and signal connection to outdoor unit are complete, the ACT LED of the network/power

injector will light on.

4.5. Antenna Alignment

You had better align the directional antenna each other to maximize the signal quality for B-6010/B-6020 system.

To do the antenna alignment, you can choose optional AK-100 which will show you the signal strength and link

quality on its panel or the laptop PC which show the signal strength and link quality on its SMT 24.1 to refer to the

alignment. To do the alignment, follow the steps as below:

Notice: The antenna alignment is only applicable for the access client (AC)

1. Open the cover of the console port labeled on the bottom of the access client (AC) and well reserve the

cover.

2. Connect the RS-232 cable to this console port.

3. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the antenna alignment kit AK-100 or the laptop.

Note: The PWR led will be ON and the ACT led will flash periodically when connect the AK-100 to the

B-6010/B-6020.

4. Adjust the horizontal angle of directional antenna first to get the maximum reading in the LEVEL and SNR

display of AK-100, or the STRENGTH and QUALITY in the SMT 24.1., both show the percentage of signal

strength and link quality of the radio link.

5. Adjust the vertical angle of directional antenna to get the maximum reading in the LEVEL and SNR display or

the STRENGTH and QUALITY.

6. Repeat step 4 and step 5 until achieving the best reading index, then remove the antenna alignment kit or laptop

and the RS-232 cable from B-6010/B-6020.

Note: The AK-100 will beep more rapidly when getting better link quality and continuous beep after

performing the best link quality during the antenna alignment procedure.

7. Put the console port cover back to the console port.
